Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI recently acquires ramp bulbs and have planted them in large pots with just the tip showing. I’m in eastern Washington (zone 6) with freezing temps at night (10-25 degrees celsius), often in the 30’s during the day and lots of snow on the ground until April. Since they can’t yet be planted in the ground where would be a good place to put the potted bulbs outdoors? I’ve considered putting them near the house on either the south or west side or will that be too cold. Larry

An article on this website suggests the following: “If you are growing ramps using transplanting, plant bulbs in February or March (as soon as the soil has thawed). Set bulbs 3 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart. Water and mulch the bed with 2-3 inches of composted leaves.”
They require a moist, shaded growing area and will take 3-5 years to reach harvesting size if you want a perennial patch. Unlike scallions, these can’t be harvested quickly as it will effectively kill the plant. You might find this article helpful: https://modernfarmer.com/2016/09/ramps/ [1]
